Eighty one days 'til we vote Trump out.
He's a traitor and a thief.
Left and right, we'll all unite
To oust the imbecile in chief.
“. . . All Enemies, Foreign and Domestic”: An Open Letter to Gen. Milley
The president of the United States is actively subverting our electoral system, threatening to remain in office in defiance of our Constitution. In a few months’ time, you may have to choose between defying a lawless president or betraying your Constitutional oath. We write to assist you in thinking clearly about that choice. If Donald Trump refuses to leave office at the expiration of his constitutional term, the United States military must remove him by force, and you must give that order.
I Resigned from U.S. Government After My Own Leaders Began to Act Like the Autocrats I Analyzed
I recently resigned as a senior analyst with the Defense Intelligence Agency … I have watched autocratic leaders around the world employ … tactics, actions that often precede broader uses of violence against domestic opposition. Unidentified federal forces in cities across the United States committing abuses against demonstrators is an evolution in the Trump administration’s authoritarian approach to dissent, not an anomaly.
I kinda like these odds for next year — 14% returns on average with full Dem control:
Fourteen to one……there is still hope. At last Tuesday RTD Board of Directors meeting, Directors voted fourteen to one to defeat a motion that would have scraped the contract with a security company that protects RTD riders, and divert the $27 millón to mental health.
Welcome, P Pear … haven't seen you for awhile. You've been missed — a conservative voice that does more than offer the relatively simplistic spew of Moderatus.
Thanks John.
The only time that I've needed protection while riding RTD was from a maniac driver, speeding and hitting curbs and throwing me out of my seat. I told him to slow down. he kicked me off the bus. Later that week he was unemployed.
The Austin City Council voted unanimously Thursday to cut the city’s police budget by about $150 million, or one-third, in an effort to redistribute police funds to social services and alternative public safety programs.
Climate change on the western slope: Washington Post article
2 degrees Celsius: Beyond the Limit , by Juliet Eilperin
The premise of this article is that climate change means less water in rain, snowpack and runoff on the Western Slope; downriver, it means less water, period. It's an up-close look at how climate change is affecting several Grand Mesa area farm families.
It seems to me a pretty thoughtful, well-written and data-driven article. Others closer to Western slope, agriculture and water issues can weigh in on bias, accuracy, etc. It even touches on CD3 politics.
I liked the article when I read it yesterday but I didn’t like the fact that none of the people listed in the credits is any kind of a physical scientist nor are many quoted to any real extent.
“The average flow of the Colorado River has declined nearly 20 percent over the past century, half of which is because of warming temperatures, scientists say.” needs some kind of a reference and accreditation. AFAIK the debate over DIRECT linkage between temperature and drought has been more anecdotal than fully justified.
But there is this:
Increased drought severity tracks warming in the United States’ largest river basin is current and says the same thing (but about the Missouri River basin): “We find that temperature has increasingly influenced the severity of drought events by decreasing runoff efficiency in the basin since the late 20th century (1980s) onward.”
